Description

From my own collection, this a remarkable specimen that features two azurite crystals twinned on {-102}, which is rare. The group is very aerial, exposed all around on matrix. Really an aesthetic piece of this uncommon twin. Furthermore, twinning in Kerrouchene is really uncommon.

Found in 2010. Ex. Dr. Iván Blanco.
